🌍 Human arrogance towards nature is despicable. We exploit forests, pollute rivers, & ignore ecosystems. Humility is key,nature sustains us, not the other way around. Respect it. #Environment #Sustainability

Aaron Parnas: Trump told a Georgia rally he “doesn’t give a damn” about Americans paying more at the pump, bragging that “We’re making hundreds and hundreds of billions, trillions of dollars, but my people said, ‘Please don’t mention that, sir,’ because people are paying a little higher."

Greed doesn't just destroy forests. It murders millennia-old beings that can't run or fight back. Less than 5% of the world’s old-growth forests remain intact. We are on the verge of telling our children that giants once walked the Earth,as if it were a fairy tale.

“I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” — G. M Gilbert

New in PN: In defense of empathy "Being aware of other people’s feelings, sensitive to them, and able to put yourself in another person’s shoes is pretty much essential for humans to function as a community. But the current conservative project has zero room for that sort of thing."

If you paid any federal income tax last year, then you paid more than these profitable corporations. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

Remember: If your vote didn't matter, billionaires wouldn't be spending their fortunes trying to buy our elections. Stay calm, support good candidates, do whatever you can to get out the vote, and vote as soon as you can. Don't let Big Money win.

At the midterm Republican Convention, Ross Ulbricht spoke. Who is he? He created and ran The Silk Road, a dark web website that facilitated the sales of narcotics, illegal firearms, human beings, and any other illegal merchandise. He was sentenced to 40 years. Trump pardoned him in January.

Heather Cox Richardson A 3-way summit with China, Russia and U.S. would cement Russia’s status as one of the world’s 3 great powers, a status Putin has sought since 2000. Summit would acknowledge that the U.S. had broken from Europe and allied with Russia, as Putin tries to take control of Ukraine

God: Dear Humans, REJOICE! Hundreds of students at North Carolina A&T marched an hour to vote after the Republican-controlled election board removed every early voting location on their campus. Bless these students! ❤️

27,000 New Yorkers lost their SNAP benefits due to cruel cuts from the federal government. If you’re one of them, NYC is here to help. As of October 1st, you can re-enroll for SNAP benefits. But there are new rules. Call 718-SNAP-NOW or visit nyc.gov/ACCESSHRA for help re-enrolling.

As usual, Trump does whatever he wants without permission and then says, "Well it's too late now, the trees are already down. You have to let us finish so we can clean up the mess." Just like with his stupid ballroom.
